History
"Farmer" Joel Hanfield was found by the adventurers after his farm was attacked by Murloc Raiders.

''Joel revealed himself to be slightly skeptical towards Druidism and large animal-pets, but was most certainly a faithful man of the Light, instantly making a connection with Tyram. He was grateful to the party for saving his farm, but also woeful, as he claimed the Murlocs had been raiding the farm nightly for over a week, and were sure to return again.''

''Tyram picked up a scythe from the farm and infused it with Holy Light, presenting the blessed scythe as a weapon to Joel, to help him fight any further Murloc-attacks. Joel was grateful, though Tyram started to remind him that the Light strengthens those who follow its teachings, and that Joel would have to use his gift to serve the Light and aid those in need.''

''Joel started to hesitate at this point, looking deeply ashamed during Tyram's lectures, before he finally broke down admitted that he was responsible for the Murloc-attacks. ''

Bandits had come to his farm and arranged a pact with him; they would not attack the farm and offer him protection from other bandit-packs, in exchange of his farm producing food and supplies for their Bandit-Lord. ''They had given him a valuable Relic that once belonged to a local Murloc-tribe as a sign of their good faith. The Murlocs have been attempting to retrieve their Relic ever since. ''

''The Party was understanding of Joel's plight. Tyram paid him in gold to take his family away from the farm and live in Stormwind, far away from the reach of the bandits and murlocs, while they would return the Relic to the Murlocs. Deeply ashamed that he had put his farm and family's life in danger over his greed, Joel eagerly agreed, thanking the party for redeeming him, before he departed to Stormwind to devote his life to the Light.''

Though he has not been seen since, it can be assumed he is currently in the Cathedral training to become a Paladin.
